Amorosa Film Trailer Review
Now what do we have here in Amorosa? Amorosa is another Filipino horror film that uses the tried and tested haunted house-themed story. The question is does Amorosa offers something different to set it apart from the number of Filipino horror films that uses the same theme before it? Has this trailer get the job done in building hype making people to actually consider watching this 2012 horror film when it comes out in August 29?
Horror film fans can already come up with a number of potential stories and twist for this film, but luckily the film didn't put too much information on its official channels (FB Page and Youtube), something most horror films from Viva and Regal has been guilty of recently. Amorosa has managed to still preserve a tiny element of mystery behind the story, identity, and the motivation of spirit that haunts the house. Hopefully when the film does decide to release its official synopsis (which usually go with its official trailer) that it wouldn't follow the same failed marketing mess that films like Guni-Guni and Hitman did earlier - that is including the whole story in full details in its synopsis treating movie goers like morons that they can't seem to find it out for themselves. What Amorosa would want to emulate is what The Healing has achieved amidst the cliche horror theme it used. I just don't know with Amorosa. It just screams mediocrity basing from what is seen on its trailer.
The trailer even showed what the spirit looked like that made me scratch my head and exclaimed shouldn't they reserve that "opportunity" for people who might want to check this film out? Either that or they decided that the spirit is so generic that the its origin and the scares are more important than preserving how it looked like only revealing it to its audience. What is left to explore is the origin of this spirit and if it does have any connection with Angel's family. Amorosa is one of those "wait until its official home video format (DVD, VCD, Bluray) gets released and rent it" kind of film. You can still watch Amorosa if you have the extra time and money to spare for it. If you are also a fan of any of the cast included in this 2012 horror film; curious of the outcome or to find out about the story, motivation, and what this spirit can do, then you might want to check this out in theaters but the Pinoy Movie Blogger gives it a low recommendation.
